Come follow my progress as I get my hands in Texas soil.

Potatoes
- Don't plant Tomatoes near potatoes. It makes the
potatoes vulnerable to potato blight.
- Interplant watermelons with potatoes. The
Potatoes will appreciate the "living mulch" of the vines.
- Horseradish, planted at the corners of the potato patch,
provides general protection.
- Alyssum makes a perfect living mulch for potatoes.
